BOSTON LETTER.


ise should say notL ing about the Bunker Hill
day, June II. From what read and heard
said had concluded that the celebration OF
the 1l2th anniversary Of the battle Of Bunker
Hill would be something superbly grand,
but after " iessing it must confeea It VISA
mere s:de-show compared with the Western
way Of celebrating. It being legal holiday
business was almost entirely suspended, and
busy, bustliug Boston was as much deserted as
the average country at midnight. But old
Charl"stowD,t the old battle ground, was crowded
jam full. Probably 100000 people witnessed
tue carnival parade in the morning, which
was composed principally Of fantasies and
brass bands. Tho military and civic parade
In the afternoon was very fine. The Robert f.
Lee Camp OF Confederate veterans of Rich
mond, Va, were here and took part in
the parade, and were warmly welcomed all
along the route. No body OF Northerners, j
should Judge, were ever more warmly wei
coined i'll the South than this body Of Southern
ers were received in Boston and vicinity during
their stay OF week, and am confident they
highly appreciated the reception. Add to the
above the very numerous small boy with his
toy pistol and crackers, and you have CON-
plete synopsis Of the battle of Bunker Hill
celebration.
During tho past two weeks there has been
considerable comment on tho subject of rc-
turning flags captured from tho Confelerates
during the "unpleasantness." l think Ben
Butler made coed point when, in a speech
at the Butler club dinner at the Quincy House,
Saturday evening, he said that to return tho
flags would be admitting that tho North was
In the wrong, and that we should keep then
by all means.
At banquet In the historic Fanouil hall last
Friday evening in honor OF the Robert f. Leo
Camp, by tho John Andrew Post G. A. T.,
several very eloquent speeches wero made,
especially that Of the Hon. John t;oods OF
the Lee Camp.
Yacht racers and racing seems to be growing
more popular every season, and almost any
day may be seen yacht races in Boston bay.
The great Barnum pitched tents here Mon-
day for weeks exhibit In the parade Mon
day morning were twelve fine elephants and
about twonty five caInels aud dromcdarics
with 'Faitl" in 4 lion's den, 'Hopo" in a
lcopard's den, and "Charity" in a den OF H.
GERS Most other features were Of a conyeu-
tiOual nature.
The Boston Base Ball team, with tho ''only''
Sl0,GOO Kelly, is liable 10 drop to third place
very soon unless it braces up, although the
team has done some excellent playing go far
this season. Kelly is not noted 30 much for
his playing as for his management What he
don't know about the game of base ball has
not been found out by anybody else up to date.
Until within the last ten days there has been
but little really warm weather, but now tho
| summer cottages at tho beaches are filling up
very rapidly.
Paul Boynton, who is with Darnum, took a
sail OF two or three miles up the Charles river
Sunday afternoon In his rubber suit. He is
getting to be quito "chestnut" in this Sec
| ton.
soc that your,commlssioner have refused
to grant auy liquor license this year. OF courec,
nobody in the county will drink--that is,
they will have no desire for, their favorite
cocktails or whisky punches simply because they
can't y get them. Two Of your commission
'cfssecm to know pretty well how prohibition
prohibits. The others on the majority side ala
probably not onto the 'tsnap." AS IN illustra-
ton Of no license Cambridge is a fair specimen.
The no license vote was carried by small
majority last fall, all saloons TO close May l
last. Since that time extra squads of police
are stationed at oitbor Of tho bridges leading
to Boston every night 10 capture the drunls
returning from this city, and the police reap
regular harvest. Many who drank moderately
when they could get it at home, now 60 to
extremes. The Cambridge cooler catches more
drunks now than ever before. Those who
wish to take glass and come to Boston to get
1t also do their trading here, and the conse-
quence is that many of the business men in
Cambridge are complaining bitterly. However,
liquor can be obtained to day on tho quiet in
more places than one in Cambridge by those
who are iniated, Notwithstanding that it is
prohibition town. Portland, Me-, is another
prohibition town, 10 license, but as many sa-
looms and more drunks than before the change.
